Garry (of Garry's Mod) was given the Source 2 repo, based around Half-Life Alyx, to create S&box...

what the fuck has he been doing for a decade? did he make enough from Garry's mod so he never had to work again?

>Sampersandbox
I don't get it

didnt he make rust

>2tb of bullshit
My inner russian is salivating at the thought of all the beta content hidden in there.

Yes and they also made Rust while taking up Valve's ethos on development. Can't say how they've been on employment and turnover, they've silently worked on many false starts that ended in failure, but Rust should sustain them for some time.

Garry's Mod is still one of the few creation platforms that the PC has; all of them are old by this point and Gmod is absolutely ancient even if mature.
Interesting to see what they can make happen with Sandbox

Did they even release the 64-bit exe yet? Haven't been keeping up.

He made millions from Garry's Mod, even after Valve's 50% cut deal allowing him to use the source code.

And before someone says something -- yeah you could just get involved with a real game engine, but that's a shit ton of work. Creation platforms are good for prototyping or just fucking around and having fun with.

I sitll like to prototype my ideas with Half-Life 1 and goldsrc.

Just because you don't have to work doesn't mean you never will again. It just means you get to choose what you do with your life. Instead of slaving away in some 9-5, he has enough cash to keep himself comfy and spends the time he'd be doing cocaine with his valve money on making something he feels would be fun for others too as well.

Gmod? You're not 12 anymore.

perhaps not

but i would like VR Gmod

Again, you're not 12 anymore.

>Noo stop having fun
I'll be laughing at ragdolls flopping around till I die.

VR Gmod is already a thing, It's an addon you can get on the workshop.
it works, nothing exactly to write home about but it works

I'm sorry that your life moves backwards, mine does not.

>implying you have to be 12 to enjoy gmod

You certainly don't do it past 21. But you're a manchild, you'll fit right in with all of those teenagers.

What's wrong with you.

> imagine living your best life til death, just like that
wow

I'm surprised he isn't all out commited to rust right now, FP cancelled several other games to commit to working on rust, it's coming consoles (allegedly) this year and upgrading to HDRP graphics (although there's been no real news on that either in a long time)

You could be doing something else right now, something a little better rather than trying to argue that you're more mature on Zig Forums of all places, more than half of the fuckers here have the stamina of a gorilla and you're not going to win

The HLVRAI thing was done with that addon, right?

How is Gmod's population anyways? Last I checked it was all Dark RP and not much else.
What sucks is that I'd noticed Zombie Survival was one of the only few "classic" gamemodes from back in Gmod's heyday that still persists.
Newer cycles will never know about Fortwars, or Sassilization, or Nox CTF, robot wars, pirate ship wars (but we have sea of thieves now), etc..

>I'm the big mature businessman on Zig Forums, I must post about how useless gmod is in it's own thread

>why yes i only play mature games for mature people such as myself

>implying sandbox games aren't enjoyable when you grow older
man, games like gmod grow to be more enjoyable the older you get, especially with vr

Also I still mess around in gmod occasionally for spacebuild and prototyping asymmetric space-to-ground combined arms wars. Not a single fucking game on the market yet to address that niche.

Good. I run a Nazi Roleplay server and the game is so fucking outdated.

...what do you do in nazi roleplay servers? does it have nice architecture or do you just larp as nazi officers beating the shit out of minorities?

Mostly the latter

I want to like this but on the same time I'm not so sure if it's a good idea. Like, the whole point of turning source into a sandbox was how versatile it was, how many fucking features it had that HL barely touched upon that we could have fun with.
S2 in comparison is really barebones, because Alyx, even if it was great, was a much more focused game. The engine does what it needs to do for the HL:A campaign because volvo, for better or for worse, finally learned to prioritize what they need to do instead of spitballing ideas around for years and going nowhere.
There's no projecting screen features for example, what's shown on screens is an actual webm compared to a separate part of the map being projected. There's no vehicles. there's generally much less content to make a sandbox around.

does it have custom gas chambers at least?

Last time I played on NaziRp there were functional gas chambers, yes.
